"To be hopeful in bad times is
not just foolishly romantic.
It is based on the fact that human history
is a history not only of cruelty,
but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this
complex history will determine our lives.

"If we see only the worst,
it destroys our capacity to do something.
If we remember those times and places...
and there are so many...
where people have behaved magnificently,

"this gives us the energy to act and
at least the possibility of sending this
spinning top of a world in a different direction.
And if we do act, in however small a way,

...

...
"The future is an infinite succession of presents
and to live now as we think human beings should live,
in defiance of all that is bad around us,
is itself a marvelous victory."
